Wife returns tonight from a 5 day vacation out west, her first time away from home since the virus.
And I'm trying to make the apartment super squeaky clean to impress her like she's some girl I just started dating. 😂😂
The key to a happy marriage is always wanting to impress your spouse although you no longer need to impress your spouse.
It was noticed and appreciated in a very appreciable way. 😏
BTW it's not like she's some Monica Geller herself. We both are comfortable being a bit messy 🤓. So it's not like she is some wife from a desi WhatsApp Forward being quasi mommy iykwim.
Heh I remember once I tweeted how my very casual dress in class made a tech support guy think I was a TA not a professor. And some folks were like Rupal, how come you didn't make him dress nicer? And Rupal says, um, he's my husband not my son and he's 40 years old.
"Prof, hope you accept this. What song would you play for Dr Rupal if you were to serenade her based mostly on the lyrics".
Okay, I'm partial to this song cos it has two of my top two B loves.
Bombay and Beyonce.
Bombay and Beyonce is a combo that can sell anything.

Fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, heal'd by the same means, warm'd and cool'd by the same winter
and summer, as an Indian Hindu is?
If we Indian Hindus prick Indian Muslims, do they not bleed? If
we tickle them, do they not laugh? If we poison them, do they not die? And if we wrong them, will they not revenge?
If they are like us in the
rest, they will resemble us in that.
In case you're wondering why Modi MEA has been extra whiny and shrill about what the Prime Minister of Singapore said in his own parliament, this is President Halimah Yacob of Singapore.
Can you guess why bhakts don't like her? I'll give you a hint. It's not the glasses.
Also reminds me of something a DC insider told me recently. That a VERY high percentage of hate on Rep. Ilhan Omar's social media comes from India on a daily basis. Can you guess why? I'll give you a hint. It is not because the movie Fargo made them scared of Minnesota.
Rep. Omar is a superhero so not like it affects her. But it is starting to come to the notice of more and more people "inside the beltway" how much of a growing role the BJP's IT cell trolls are starting to take in US politics. People are mentioning parallels to Russia.
I have said this before and I'll say it again. The weirdest thing that has happened worldwide in the past two years is people starting to treat LinkedIn like Facebook. For no discernible reason.
It's like having your bachelor party in your bank Manager's office.
Well, it is independent India's first corporate owned government. Beloved by many IIM types. Fascism is based on bigotry & xenophobia but its fuel is crony capitalism. Look at Volkswagen. Started by Hitler, pulled that diesel emissions con, still around!
Nazis went away but the world treats Nazi propellor wings as a premium fancy brand. You can even make out a Nazi swastika once you remember that BMW was basically building Nazi war planes when the Nazis were in power.
This car business is like if Mike Corleone went legit.
We are prolly the last generation of people from the subcontinent who have at least heard first hand stories from grandparents about their first hand experiences on the "other side".
In 20 more years, India & Pakistan will be theoretical impersonal constructs for each other.
